Useless 无用之用 Painting by Chunlei Zhang

Born in Shanghai in 1969, Zhang Chunlei’s artistic career started at a young age when he was apprenticed to renowned Chinese painter, Master Jiang Fengbai. In 1992, he graduated from the Suzhou University School of Arts with a Professional Certificate in decoration design. He continued his artistic training in Japan in 1995. In 2003, Zhang obtained his MBA from the University of South Australia. He is currently living and working in Singapore and his art practice spans between Singapore and Shanghai, China.

Influenced by the Lao Zhuang Philosophy, which advocates artistic beauty and equilibrium, Zhang’s painting technique involves creating a series of tightly woven dots, lines and planes, weaving a purposeful formation with alternating colours. This concept of fusion of figurative and abstract elements results in a stunning work of art.

Zhang’s artworks have been acquired by private and corporate collectors such as UOB Singapore, Marriot Hotel (Beijing), Yucun Art Museum and Suzhou Daily (China), the Shangri-La Hotel, Legend Hotel, Times Square Hotel and Grand Margherita Hotel (Malaysia) and Far East Plaza and Meritus Mandarin Hotel in Singapore.
